Children's Ministry Day
Children’s Ministry Day 2008
February 16, 2008
Crossroads’ GA’s will be participating in the first annual Children’s Ministry Day!
This years theme is “Hope for the Hungry”.
What Is Children’s Ministry Day?
Jesus taught His disciples by example, by inviting them to minister alongside Him. In a similar way, we can help children learn long-lasting lessons about missions through hands-on mission action experiences.
Children’s Ministry Day, sponsored by Woman’s Missionary Union®, is a special day for all children in the church to get involved in hands-on ministry. On this day, we encourage children and their leaders across North America to participate in ministry projects to meet needs in their own communities.
The objectives for Children’s Ministry Day are:
• To move children’s groups into their communities for a one-day effort to minister and witness together.
• To help children understand the needs of others and grow in their ability to minister to others as Christ did.
• To enable children, leaders, parents, and recipients of ministry across North America to share and receive God’s love.
The GA’s have selected the Birthday Bash Bags as their ministry project. These bags will contain all the items necessary for a birthday dinner and party. We will be delivering these bags to a group designated by the Baptist Family Services.
We will begin collecting the items for this project on the other side of this immediately.
Items Needed for the Birthday Bash Bags
Cake Mix
Frosting
Disposable Cake Pan
Candles
Cake Decorations (i.e. sprinkles)
Canned Meat Sauce (Hunt’s)
Pasta
Party Plates, Napkins, Hats, Cups, etc.
Streamers
Birthday Banners
Balloons
Large Gift Gags (Plain)
On February 16th the GA’s will meet at the church to assemble the bags. We will also be making birthday cards to place in the bags. We welcome our parents to join us in this event. Your help will be most definitely appreciated!
More info will come on possible delivery of the bags.
If you have any questions, please contact

Younger GA's Bible Memory Verses- November
Here are the Bible memory Verses for the Younger GA class for the month of November. The girls each receive a bible verse every month according to their grade level. They have one month to memorize these and recite them to me in order to put a sticker on the poster in our classroom. At the end of the year they will receive special recognition and a special badge for completing these.
Please help your daughter work on these!
In Him,

EXCITING News!!!!
I am thrilled to announce an exciting Live Action Project now on our calendar officially!! On Sunday, December 16th the GA's will be visiting Silver Creek Manor Nursing Home for Christmas Caroling and Bingo with the residents. We will leave the church at 3:45 and return at 6pm just after Sunday evening service ends. This will be our first of many visits to Silver Creek during the next several months!
So here's what I need for our visit on the 16th....
Toilet Paper Tubes
Candies (Butterscothes, Peppermints, Chocolates, etc.)
Small Stuffed Anilmals (Dollar Tree)
Hygiene Items such as toothpaste, lotions, brushes, combs, etc....
Also, if a GA wishes to Adopt a Grandparent, they will have the opportunity to earn the Adopt-A-Grandparent badge! This would be a great time to do so just before the holidays.
This is going to be a lot of fun for all involved!

November is Here!!!
November is finally here!! It is one of my favorite times of the year ~ all the wonderful aromas that fill my kitchen warm my heart ! I am able to reflect on the many blessings God has given me throughout the year! It is also another opportunity for me and my family to find yet another way to help someone else.
For the month of November, we have chosen the Pure Water, Pure Love Ministry . We just finished learning about Sam & Delores York, missionaries in Haiti , and the work they do there to help bring fresh, clean drinking water to the people of Haiti. Please ask your daughter what she remembers about them! If you are not familiar with this ministry, please check out this link : http://www.wmu.com/VolunteerConnection/pwpl/index.asp . During this month we are asking the girls to bring in monetary donations and drop them in the 5 gallon water jug that will be located in the foyer in the Faith building. This would be a good time to have your daughter help out around the house or lend a hand in the yard to earn extra money for their offering. At the end of the month we will send the offering into the Pure Water, Pure Love organization.
Speaking of The Yorks, I wanted to share a prayer request for them. Please check out this link for more details: http://gapassport.com/index.asp?ContentID=328
I want to extend another BIG THANK YOU to the parents and children who helped at the GA's Harvest Festival booth last night! A great time was had by all and the festival was a wonderful ministry outreach to the community!
That's all for now! Check back soon for some exciting news about our December Live Action Project!!

October is World Hunger Month!
Welcome to our very first Blog for the Girl's In Action of Crossroads Baptist Church! I hope this will be helpful in keeping you up to date on the many activities and projects going on throughout the months and year! Please check back frequently as I will be adding more info everyday!
I want to start by sending out a big Thank You to all of our girls and their families for helping out with World Hunger Month. As you know, we decorated bags and collected items for the Crisis pantry here at Crossroads. We have collected quite a bit of food that I am sure will help some families in need. If your child did not get a chance to bring their items in, it's not too late! The girls are earning the "Feed the World" Badge .
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the annual Harvest Festival will be held this Wednesday evening in the lower parking lot and in the fellowship hall. If you have not had the chance to attend the last two years or you are new to our church, I promise this will be a wonderful event! The younger and older GA's will each be responsible for working at one of our two boothes this year. The older GA's are in charge of the Bowling Booth and the younger GA's are in charge of the Ball Toss Booth. We are asking that the girls work one 20 minute session at their designated booth and when they do, they will be receiving credit towards their World Venture charm bracelet . If they have not already signed up to work they may come by the booth at anytime. There will be and adult there at all times. Also, if they bring a friend, they will receive the "I Brought A Friend" badge .
That's all for today!
